Overview
Mizzou Law is one of the nation's leaders in Alternative Dispute Resolution, having founded the nation’s first center dedicated to the study of settling disputes beyond litigation. This center, the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution (CSDR) is Mizzou Law’s only research center. The School also offers a Certificate in Dispute Resolution to its J.D. candidates, and a LL.M. for those who have already completed law school. The School discontinued its certificates in tax law and intellectual property law in 2004 because it lacked the faculty to teach those classes.
The median LSAT score for the incoming class of 2007 was 159, with a median GPA of 3.53. It accepted 35.8% of its applicants. Its student body total was 449 during the 2007-2008 school year.
